Gluten Free Mexican Enchiladas
I’m trying a lot of gluten free alternative recipes at the moment for a few reasons; 1) my partner loves his bread but he really wants to give it up, so I’m trying to fill him up in other ways and 2) I hate that gloopy feeling you get after eating gluten rich foods. So, these Gluten Free Mexican Enchiladas are designed to give you that Mexican Food hit but without the sluggish, bloated feeling afterwards. The ingredients and flavours are so good your really don’t need all the wraps and tacos they serve in Mexican food. Anyway, give this Gluten Free Mexican Enchiladas recipe a go and see if you miss the bread. I bet you won’t!
